Matt E, I plow a couple driveways with it, and can't see buying another car just to drive sometimes in the winter.

I was thinking you could get rid of the frt and get a car, but obviously that don't work to plow driveways.

[Remps]

What does frt stand for? I googled it and found several interesting possibilities, such as Fly River turtle, flatulence reinforced training wtf, female reproductive tract, etc etc, but none seem to apply here.

[fatty]

I think it's funny round truck. Applies to non first gens.

[Remps]

Ah I see. It all makes sense now.

[dazedandconfused]

Do the auto trans heat exchangers located under the turbo have a specific direction of flow for both the coolant and the trans fluid?

Say your looking at one mounted in stock position, id think the coolant would flow front to back, same for the trans fluid, but there's no markings for direction, so maybe it doesn't matter.

I removed one, and using on another truck, but never paid notice to hose routing. My other trucks a stick, so its not helping

Suggestions, thanks

I'll look at mine for you in the morning.

On mine both flow in the front and out the back.

[PToombs]

Andy, oil and water flow front to back?

Flatulence reinforced training? That could apply if Bill is around!

The '97 is getting the injectors done when I can get the good truck out. I think they are original and never been out. I know the truck has been abused before I got it so I think they're whipped.

Thanks Andy much appreciated.
After listening to Pete talk about his '97, figured FRT stood for F***Ing Round Truck

there you go. Hit that suck dead on the nose.

[dazedandconfused]

Yeah Pete that's the way mine is routed. Coolant comes in the front and exits the rear the same with at.

Some amish idiots just bought 77 acres up here to the tune of 11,400/ac. That's nearly $900k

We haven't seen those prices in a decade. Land auction happened near me last fall. $13.7k/acre and a lot of farmers were upset they didn't go to bid. Average for good tillable ground here is $15k. Local prairie fairies are buying up bad ground to the tune of $20k/acre to reclaim a bunch of land.

You all need to go look at my engine pulling thread and answer my questions so I can get it back together. Or at least order the parts for it.

2nd strike on looking for cars. This one was in limp mode when I got there. Probably not a big deal, but I wasn't about to drive it home 130 miles at under 60 mph.

I saw an old crew cab C30 in town today. I didn't think anything of it until he hit the key and it fired right up with a puff of smoke.

VE 12v

I replaced the poly motor mounts on my truck with factory rubber, it's so much nicer to be in now. Once I find a source for the push-rivets that hold the hood liner in it'll be just as quiet as the RC. I hope.

[oldestof11]

Y'all know there's a oil line going into the VE?
